Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 108 The transparent style of Leibnitz seems so commonplace in comparison with Spinoza´s mystic utterances, that men cannot persuade themselves that it is not vastly inferior. What should become of them, indeed, if the former succeeded in making the whole structure of the universe as clear as the demonstration of a triangle? Would not mankind die of sheer ennui, if light were thrown into every region of human knowledge? Accordingly men - and more especially, at all times, the "upclearers," "friends of enlightened views," and "prophets of a new liberal religion" - rally around the incomprehensible, forswear the authority of the Bible for the authority of Jacob Boehme or Spinoza, and glory in the fact that there is still something beyond, some dark shadow, - generally called Being, - which we do not know. The two men of all others who have pursued this dark shadow and spectre of unknown Being into its most hidden recesses, and lit it up by the sunlight of reason, - Leibnitz and Fichte, - have, in so far as their labors had this object in view, labored in vain. Leibnitz is known as an excellent mathematician and scholar of most various attainments, and Fichte is cherished in the memory of Germany as a man of rare honesty and an earnest patriot; nay, some few have even heard of the curious theory of Monads of the one, and of the equally curious theory of the Ego and Non-Ego of the other: but that each of these men - both honest and in earnest search of truth, and neither of them in the least likely to deceive himself about the extent and range of his discovery - did discover, or said he had discovered, a universally valid science of knowledge, which settled all possible disputes about metaphysical problems, and left open for advancement and discussion only the natural sciences, - this is neither understood nor investigated, and probably will not be for a century, - not until this race of ours has grown to be less cowardly and more self-reliant than it is now.
